Thoughts on United

[disny_luvr]

We are very loyal to Southwest. I think I’ve only flown another airline a handful of times, but for our trip this summer (to Utah not Disney) Southwest is coming in really expensive. We can actually fly from our small, local airport on United for a few hundred dollars cheaper than driving to Philly or Baltimore and flying Southwest. I’ve never flown United. Any thoughts on them? I’m not sure if I should bite the bullet or wait and see if Southwest drops in price.

United will certainly have a better IFE compared to Southwest (BYOD not required on most mainline flights but United Express flights have no seatback IFE). If that’s the cheaper option… go for it!

What do you think is the difference between them anymore? UA isn’t a budget carrier so I think you’ll find UA similar to the New WN.

In general United is good option. Based on the length of your trip (East coast to Utah) you should have a large aircraft and be very comfortable. We fly United a lot because we are near a hub for them and I would say they rank around the middle of the pack for service.

We fly United from Australia to LAX and we enjoy our flights with them

We fly United all the time. Never an issue outside of normal delays, etc.
